The KingPin ACEBot Bot Base
===========================

Authors:
	ACEBot:		Steve Yeager
	KingPin:		Ridah and the boys at Xatrix
	Merge job:		RiEvEr

Time taken:			Five hours (Honest!)

Contents:			KingPin Bot game DLL in /program files/kingpin/bot
				Kingpin Bot Source Code in /program files/kingpin/sdk (MSVC6++ project)

Rationale:
----------

This is the barest essential bot base to play KingPin deathmatch. Nothing has been done about
teamplay or cash games. It should be particularly useful to MOD authors. 
I am releasing this to encourage more authors to have a go at a Q2 engine based bot. 
I am tired of seeing mods with no bots. Even ID have realised it's a problem at last 
(ie. Quake III ). Unreal Tournament is going to blow everyone out of the water too - 
the bots rock! (Nice job from Mr.Polge there...)

This is a good base to start from. It has a LOT of scope for improvement. 
Don't ask "Why ACE?". It's just a useful jump-off point. Someone who really knows what they 
are doing will have the base code completely re-written inside a month and unrecognisable.

I have done all the hard work for you, it just needs modifying to suit what you want
it to do. If you check the code you'll see I've added definitions for EVERY KingPin item
to the bot code. It's up to you to teach them to use them all.

If you use this base to start a bot, credit Steve Yeager since he did most of the hard work
and was kind enough to release the source to the ACEBot in the first place!

Don't pester me about this. You're getting it FREE and UNSUPPORTED. If it screws your whole
system up it's not my fault so don't use it if you're worried :) [ I have been playing
against these bots on map rotations (timelimit 10) for 3 hours and it seems stable]

Instructions for play:
----------------------

Start the game with:
kingpin.exe +game bot +maxclints 16 +map kpdm1

Call down the console and type: "sv addbot" to add a bot. Read the ACEBot or KingPin docs 
for anything else you want.
